REPORT OF WAYS AND DeILANS. A HTON brought up the Report of the Com mittee Of Wayaand Meaps, when the Resolutions iespeetiug ,the funding of eight millions of Exchequer lis were agreed to, and a Bill ordered pursuant thereto. of giving the power Of granting the licences at any time within the yeai, when vacancies should. occur, to the Magistrates, rather than to the Comtni , sioners of Excise; and Mr. Hurst recommended that the power of granting such licences, when vacancies oc curred, should be restricted to licences for military purposes, and that the present mode of granting . licences for civil purposes should be preserved to the Civil Magistrates; upon which the Secretary at War agreed to postpone the consideration of the Clause. till to-morrow, when he should be happy to avail himself of the suggestions el the Hon. Members. The various amendments in the body of the Bill, and the new clauses were then gone through, the chief or which were the following : An amendment to extend the exemption from billeting soldiers on a march, to person 4 bolding canteens under the Com missioners ,4or the affairs of Barracks ;. an amend ment for eitempting carts with four horses, or wag. gems having narrow wheels, from the penalties of the Road Acts, if they should, by accident, bear a load above the statute weight; an ainendineift, making persons refusieg to billet officers or , soldiers in Ire - land,'liable to the penalties in force in Ireland, at the time of the Onion . ; an amendment to facilitate the proof of the indentures of apprentices, by making the certificate of a Magistrate, that t he indenture and hand writing were preyed before him, a sufficient proefof an indenture ;. and a clause to authorise Courts- Martial to infli6t greater penalties than heretofore Upon persons in the Commisiariat who should have fraudulently misapplied any of his Majesty's stores, This latter clause, the Secretary at War observed, had been rernkred necessary by the insufficiency of the present penalty ; dismissal from the service, and a fine of 1001. to deter •persons employ ed upon. , foreign: service from yielding to the great temptation of embezzling public stores. The clause „ : had been, originally framed to extend over the Em pire, but as it wa t s not neces&ary to give such a power to courts-Martial in Great Britain or Ireland, an amendment had been made in it, restrielingits operations to the Foreign Settlements. The amendments having been gone through, the House resumed; and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. . On the motion that the Committee on the Ply mouth Police Bill4)e put off to Friday, Sir C. POLE desired to be informed whether any and what proceedings had ,been taken by the; Law Officers of the Crown, pursuant to the recomMen dations of the Ist, tOth, Nth, and . 13th Reports of the Comtnistioners of .

Baronet that proceedings had been instituted. . The Committee was then put off to Friday; and the other Orders of •the Day having' been deferred;. the House adjourned. - .• MAILS.

We have the pleasure of informing our Readers that a Treaty of Peace has been concluded with the Sublime Porte. The Messenger, with Dispatches from Mr. Await, communicating this agreeable in telligence, arrived last night, and the following Let ter was sent this day from the night Hon. GEORGE CANNING to the LORD MAYOR,. and was imme diately cominunicatecl by his Lordship to the Public Foreigu Mike, March 8. " MY LORD, !, I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that a Treaty of Peace, between His MAJESTY and the Susumit rottrz, was signed on 501 Januaty last. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) !‘ GEORGE CANNING." a To theBlit 1104. the Lord Mayor." The .61 laat,:night. confirms the account we yesterday gave respeeting the French Frigates .driven on shore by our Squadron off . Rochefort, and accord ing to t h e o pinion Admiral STOI4O RD, they Will nevor,go to sea again. '.l'he Enemy's force, it ap- Peirs, consists of eleven Sail of the Line, four Fri gates„ and. the Calcutta, of 54 guns. The British Squadron un kr Mtniral SToiroip, conskts of seven Sail of the hne and five Frigates, a disparity of which` nobody need be .afraid who consider the skill and intrepidity of our gallant Naval 'Defenders. The intelligence brought by the Portuguese Papers, which we received last night, down to the 2 1 st alt. is highly important, and adds considerable strength to the general expeClation of a speedy rupture between Austria and. Frmce, if it has not actually take!) place. The retreat of the French fintn La Mancha towards Madrid, with such pre cipitatiop as .to leave their arms and baggage behind them, indicates fin ordinary cause, but seems to spew that the French Usurper thinks that he has reason to be serionily 'alarmed, particu larly, as, aftvt all his vaunting Bulletins, be lute not thought proper to imOove the advantages he has'ob tained in' the neighbourhood of Cdrunna and Vigo. We refer our Readeri.to the two 'articles which they will find'in our Paper of this daY, dated Lisbon, February- 17th and Toth. If it be true that the. Arch duke Jon N has already entered the Tyrol, and tha t the Archduke CHARLES has also penetrated Bavaria, 'the world may have more reason to look, with hope towards the result of a new contest between Aus.- tria and BuONsn.liTE, as it shews that the Cabinet . ofVienna hai begun to understand the cliaraaer of the French Tyrant better than it did on former occasions, and will not wait quietly till he has prepared and matured all the means of destruction In his` power. The Tyrolians, it is well known, detest the French, and would seize the first opportunity, of over-. throwing their authority, The Archduke 'Joint . will therefare be hailed as their Deliverer. It is not indeed unlikely that Bavaria, if thedared, would with equal zeal be disposed to co-operate with the Archduke OBAR LES j but this is certainly not an equal . ground for hope,. Censidering the terrors which the French arms have excited at every place where the power of Iluoisiratera has been felt. But the • new policy adopted at Constantinople, evident in the treaty toW, so happily concluded between the . Sublime Porte and this Country, and the ru ! mour of a change in the sentiments of the Court of St. Petersburgh, which might indeed be expeff.' ed, considering the general disgust with which the Russians .have viewed the conduct of their Emperor towards France, the sudden removal of the Danish Ships from . the French Ports, and other matters tenapire to present a more favobrable aspe& of things, and seem to shew that the injustice, "ambi tion, and oppression of France, have. reached their highest point, and that abetter order of things may be expeded from the general spirit of insulted Europe. A Morning Paper indeed gives a dif-, ferent interpretation to the singular fad of the removal of,• the Danish Ships from the French Ports, and says. that they were seeking refuge in those Ports and were • driven away, by order from the French Minister, according to notice preVipusly given to the Court of Copenhagen, and thence cony', municated to the Danish. Consuls in France. But it would be an extraordinary ad indeed in France, if she were offended with another State to drive away the Vessels of that State, rather than secure them for herself. The faa , is not denied; and it is more , ieasonable t& infer; that Denmark ' has aced from her awn policy on this occasion, and that she looks for support in other Powers to be rescued from the disgrace and misery of a Gallic alliance. WE have the authority to say, that the report in a Morning Paper,. of Dispatches having been re ceived last night from AdMiral COCHRANE, In the West Indies, stating the surrender of Martinique to the British Forces, is without inundation. 'Van morning seven Gottenburgli arrived. The following the - only articles of intelligence they bring : STockmot..st, FEB. 20.—His . Royal Majesty has received the following report : " As thelnevable property found at a small place near Enklin, called Enklubd, could not be re• moved during the last Expedition, for :want of horses, the Officers commandingar the past of ''War do, were observed on the 14th to detach a strong reconnoitring party to Enklin, in order to save the movable property of the inhabitants, and destroy the buildings, which was successfully performed by Captain Van ENGLILBRUEITIN, 0f 1110 '!CgiMetWOf Sudertnania. Several Cossacks were killed, wound ed, and taken 'prisoners. " Hod-quarters, loinala, 17th Feb. iieg. " G. V. DOBBLIN, " Major,General at the Division of Aland."

He expresses' at the same time much displeasure at the dispositions of the Duke of Datitzic, and, mentiens the loss which the French suffered near Benevente. It is said that a deputation went from Madrid to coin pliment NAPOLEON when at Valladolid, one of the Deputies of which was Gen. - MoaLA, well known by the capitulation of Madrid; but it is said that this deputation kas so insulted and ill-t Teated by. that peasants that it could not complete its journey. {Lisbon Grnette, Fib. 14.)
